The list of candidates to replace Unai Emery at Villarreal
Emery's scared in Villarreal to go to Aston Villa, team from the lower half table of the Premier has caught almost everyone by surprise. Villains’ pay the termination clause of the coach that amounts to 6 million euros and opens a mystery within the yellow team?who is going to replace Unai Emery at Villarreal? Of course it is a juicy place for any coach without a team.
Setién the first of the candidates to replace Unai Emery at Villarreal
The first candidate on the list is Quique Setien. According to some media such as the newspaper Marca, the Spaniard would be the favorite of the Roigs to take the reins of a project that was going smoothly at the hands of Emery. His last stage on a bench was at Barça where it did not come out very well, especially after that 2-8 against Bayern.
Now, after more than 2 years of inactivity, Setién could lead a LaLiga team again with the substance of Villarreal. A project similar to the one he had at Real Betis, where Setién left an impeccable image and very high results. Before he coached teams like Las Palmas, Logroñés, Racing, Lugo and the Equatorial Guinea national teamhe among others. According to some media, he would already be in Valencia negotiating with the Roig.
Marcelino, an ex who could come back
Another of the names that jump to the fore is that of Marcelino Garcia Toral. The Asturian coach successfully led the yellow club during 2 seasons but was fired in the summer of 2016 before the start of the season despite having classified the groguets for Europe. One of the theories would be the team's performance in the last game against Sporting that saved the rojiblancos and that resulted in a controversial tweet from the Asturian's wife.
An ex who is discarded is Javi Calleja who does just 7 days he signed with Levante with whom he already won his first game last Saturday after coming back from a 1-0 against Ibiza with 10 players during more than an hour of the game. so all, it seems that the appointment of Setién will be made in the next few hours.
